Lasso's good-humored, unflinchingly honest and polite character appeals as a type we don't often see in a single-camera comedy in the post-anti-hero TV series era.

"Ted Lasso" turns out to be something more than just a padded version of an old ad campaign.

Ted Lasso isn't merely a goofy sitcom. It is an ambassador, on a mission to present America and Americans - at a time when public opinion of both is waning - as a misunderstood nation and people, deserving of a second chance.

How I wish this had been better written, smarter, crisper, and that Lasso had been more of a flying asshole, as he was in the original clips.

As a sports show, the football is that classic underdog story; but as a comedy, it's a genuinely exciting and successful show that boasts a fantastic cast and a message of hope.

Ted Lasso casts a certain spell: If nothing else, you want to see where in the world it can go, other than to the fictional Richmond FC stadium.
August 13, 2020
The major drawback of Ted Lasso, though, is a different kind of success metric, one that's less about being an adaptation of an advertisement and more about being a premise imported straight from 2013.

Lasso took me by surprise thanks to the titular character's unbelievable charm and Sudeikis's incredible, charismatic performance.
August 12, 2020
One of the joys of the first season of "Ted Lasso" is to watch it become more than a one-joke, one-man piece, and it feels like that growth will continue if Apple TV+ doesn't consign this team to relegation.
August 12, 2020
Even if the show's ability to capture on-field action is a little hit-or-miss, by the end of 10 episodes, I was getting misty over the team's results and over the journeys of several characters.
August 13, 2020
It is admittedly more likely to produce a smirk than a belly laugh, but, as with a lot of American sitcoms, the charm offensive begets the need for an onslaught of top-tier jokes.

The main problem, though, is that the titular character isn't interesting or funny or substantial enough to warrant a commercial-to-sitcom expansion.
